Blackdog Resources Ltd. Increases Working Interest in Its Leduc Light Oil Well at Sylvan Lake from 15% to 100%

Blackdog Resources Ltd. ("Blackdog" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:DOG) is
pleased to announce that is has increased its working interest ("W.I.") in the
Company's Leduc light oil well near Sylvan Lake, Alberta from 15% to 100%.
Blackdog acquired the remaining 85% W.I. from three separate parties for total
consideration of $20,000 cash and the grant of a gross overriding royalty
("GORR") of 5.8% on light oil and liquids and a sliding scale GORR on natural
gas (equal to 1.75% when the price is under $4.00 per mcf or 5.8% when the price
is over $4.00 per mcf). The Company now holds a 100% W.I. in the section of land
on which the well is situated, subject to the GORR.
The Leduc light oil well was originally spudded in August, 2011 and was drilled
vertically to a depth of approximately 2850m. The well was then cased and acid
stimulated in October, 2011. After a successful short test period, a 4km
pipeline was built to handle all oil, gas, natural gas liquids and water. The
well was subsequently put on production in November, 2011 and averaged 235 boepd
(approximately 60% oil and natural gas liquids) during its first 30 days of
production without the aid of any artificial lift, which could not be installed
initially due to disputes with the Company's partners. The well continued to
flow until early March, 2012 with a final production rate of approximately 100
boepd (50% oil and natural gas liquids) before it was shut in pending resolution
of the dispute.
Blackdog intends to return the well to production before the end of November and
is in the process of identifying the best artificial lift design to maximize the
long term production of oil and natural gas liquids. The Company believes this
will have an immediate and significant positive impact on the Company's
production and cash flow.
Blackdog initial 15% W.I. in the well was assigned a 2P reserves value of
$1,568,400 in its most recent independent reserves evaluation prepared by
Trimble Engineering effective December 31, 2011 and management believes that
increasing its working interest to 100% (subject to the GORR) will give Blackdog
a significant increase in its overall corporate reserves.
The Company has also identified at least one more potential drilling target on
its 100% W.I. section of land. The Company will monitor the production of the
first well for several months before making a decision on this second location
but given that the 4km pipeline is now built and has the capacity to handle
additional hydrocarbons, the Company is encouraged by the economics of this
second location. With the increased drilling activity in the Sylvan Lake area
recently, the Company's newly constructed pipeline may be a source for
additional future revenue for the Company.
